Pabitin

Pabitin - a popular Filipino game, where candies, toys and even money, are hung on a lattice-like bamboo frame. This it is attached to some string and placed just out of reach of children, with one person controlling the frame with the string. Once the set up is complete, the one holding the string can control the frame, making it go higher or lower. The object of the game is for the children to get as much of the goodies as they can by either jumping up to grab the items. When there are too many children, as is often the case, once a child had gotten an item, he or she, should leave and let other children get a chance to get an item.
Pabitin is a favorite game in many Filipino parties, and is quite popular in Fiestas all over the Philippine Islands.
